Went out to the my nova today, which is parked up my driveway, to find a leaflet under the windscreen wiper. It was from a bloke who clears old cars for scrap, who thought my saloon was dead or something!! Friggin cheek! Its the second leaflet Ive had. Its not like my car has no doors or wheels on it, its clean and in one piece. Its has £500 of shiny wheels on it for gods sake! If I'd have caught him putting it there I'd have punched him in the face! :mad:
but after I'd calmed down a bit, I can see the funny side of it and I suppose hes only trying to make a living. Its just I feel insulted that my pride and joy is seen by someone else as fit for scrap! :cry: :eek:
Rant over. lol
if its the wheels in your sig im not surprised tbh
They put them on any old car. And to days people anything that's older than a 58 plate is old.
one mans gold is another mans scrap....

Its not the worst that could happen.
Its clean though, not like its all rotten and never getting another mot lol
there was a couple of lads round here that were nicking cars & crushing them.. they even took a car off a drive when the owner had died & they waited for the funeral procession to go round the corner and craned it. they are inside now.

i put flyers on all cars, its not implying im offering to take that car but you could have a ex donor car or any other old **** hanging about, for instance only last week i put a flyer on a 04 plater mondeo got a call and collected 2 cars and random crap from that fella all free and easy way to earn 200 odd quid, dont knock it till ya try it ;)
They know better than to ask me. I scrap my own stuff. lol
Glad you're getting some coin from it though brake-dust. Especially without climbing over walls and fences to nick boilers etc. lol
the one with the trumpet just collects off the kerb, so no worries about dealing with them
but others also come round
i found some towrag trying to get past my nova to see what i'd got behind my gates..... i gave him a proper old fashioned rollocking.....
